Using dimensional analysis to check probability calculations
Probability density functions are independent of physical units. The normal distribution, for example, works just as well when describing weights or times. But sticking in units anyway is useful. Normal distribution example Suppose you’re trying to remember the probability density function for the normal distribution. Is the correct form or

Differential privacy protects user privacy by adding randomness as necessary to the results of queries to a database containing private data. Local differential privacy protects user privacy by adding randomness before the data is inserted to the database. Using the visualization from this post, differential privacy takes the left and

Machine learning models can memorize fragments of their training data and return these fragments verbatim. I’ve seen instances, for example, where I believe an LLM returned phrases verbatim from this site. It’s easy to imagine how medical data might leak this way. How might you prevent this? And how might

Photo by TopSphere Media on UnsplashGeometryReader has been present since the birth of SwiftUI, playing a crucial role in many scenarios. However, from the very beginning, some developers have held a negative attitude towards it, believing it should be avoided as much as possible. Especially after the recent updates of SwiftUI
